Letters to the editor
The Flipper flipped
TO THE EDITO : Spouting off his half-truths straight from
"hqaven" in his pril 2 letter, the Grand Omni-Potent Flipper
has flipped once again. I never did believe in Grand Omni-
Potent Flipper in allibility.
To set the reco straight, the New Reformed Church of the
Infinite Frisbee- cchic Rite is in no way, financially or
theologically, co nected with that New Reformed-Orthodox
Church of the I finite Frisbee or those other "American" in
ventions (God, otherhood, Apple Pie, etc). Nor do we ever
wish to be.
Our Church as founded out of Cosmic Revelation when I
saw the infinite absurdity of life here on earth and not by a
commercial for Wham-O.
Mr. Lantz comments on our "lower-class" activities. Well,
we don't perform immoral acts on our young boys, offer human
sacrifices on our altars, hand out copies of "God's Word"
missionaries to Africa or even play bingo on Thursday night.
However, as there seems to be no common agreement on
where the Cosmic force is, why it is there and why we are here,
we just accept the fact that it is, we are, and why not have

There can be a permanent
University bookstore. Its future
rests with you.
Buy your textbooks in the
basement of McAllister and the
interim bookstore will thrive. Only
then will the University Board of
Trustees consider authorizing the
plans for the construction of a
larger, complete facility.
The interim bookstore's policy
is to order textbooks for every
student enrolled in courses with
100 students or less. This means a
copy of the book you need is
always available there. The trouble
is that for every book bought
downtown, the interim bookstore
has a book unsold.
The adequate supply of text
books depends on the concern of
the University faculty. They must
accurately estimate how many
books their students will need and
get the book lists in on time, so
books can be .ordered to arrive
before each term begins.
The McAllister store is not
without its flaws.
The prices for new textbooks
are the same as those downtown.
But this cannot be helped. Prices
are set by the publishers who sell
their books at 20 per cent of the
list price. After postage and
freight, salaries and rent to the
University, the 20 per cent gross
profit ends up as 1 per cent net
profit.

Another problem has been the
long lines of people trying to sell
used books. The wait could have
been shorter if Barnes and Noble,'
the firm buying books at the in
terim bookstore had set up shop
before last Thursday.
The fact is that the bookstore in
McAllister is not adequate. Lack
of space limits it to offering only
required texts. Stationery supplies
are sold separately in the HUB.
What is needed is a large,
permanent bookstore, located in a
convenient place. Students
should have the opportunity to
buy used books and sell their
books back at reasonable prices.
Optional texts and reference
books should be made available.
A University bookstore can
provide a service to students by
having the books they need when
they need them.
Each book you buy at McAllister
brings us a little closer to having
that store.

Not at conception, not at birth
By JOHN H. JOHNSON
of the Collegian Staff
Human Life.
Two simple words that are currently
being pushed and pulled and oc
casionally pulverized into strange new
shapes the final shape quite often
dependent on an individual's view on
another simple word.
Abortion.
The 1950 Webster in The Daily
Collegian office does not even have a
definition that corresponds to today's
usage.
Webster's states: "abortionist (n);
One who practices the producing of
criminal abortions." Since- the United
States Supreme Court has ruled that
states may not interfere with the right of
a woman to have an abortion during the
first 26 weeks of pregnancy, I do not
believe the definition is workable for
1973.
Some past Collegian letters offer other
definitions: "the killing of innocent
children in America," "color it murder"
and "legislating morality."
There have been more anti-abortion
letters this year than pro. They are
mostly reactions to The Collegian's pro
abortion policy.
When does "human life" begin?
Not at conception.
At conception a sperm enters an egg
and cells start to divide and multiply.
But a microscopic bit of protoplasm is
not a human life. It has no more sen
sations than an amoeba. In fact, an
amoeba is better suited to life at that
size
Not at birth
A premature baby is still a human
being, even if it must spend some time
the_artificial womb of an incubator.
Human life, then, begins at some
point in the gestation period of a human
being. When is that first sudden start of
self-awareness? When does the floating,
cushioned piece of flesh give its first
kick of "I am here, I am here." When
does it first know warmth, hunger, the
subtle pressure of a proud father's hand
Unfortunately, no one remembers.

months old has it.
